Gemstone

Story

It seems as though “everything” eventually is recycled. Trends come and go but style has a way of re-emerging. Do we run out of new ideas or is it that certain aspects of design lay fallow for a time and then suddenly blossom once again?

Back in fashion in a big time way is rose gold – that warm rich color which magically appears when copper is added to yellow gold*. Here we have a wonderful example of a former trend which came on the scene in the earlier part of the 20th century. The 1910 year ring is now quite scarce. This one is crafted from 10k rose gold and has a patina only time and love can bring to precious metal. Open work and bold graphics bring a prestige that few modern personal adornments can address. Wear it to commemorate a special event or the birth year of someone you love. Suitable for a man or woman.

Date: 1910.

*Pure gold is yellow in color and is too soft to be used for jewelry. Other metals are added to increase its strength or to modify the color. Different ratios of elements will change color and grade. For example, adding silver, nickel, manganese or palladium will color gold white.
